Templar vs damage shields.

As everyone know damage shields full negate your dots, crit rates, etc.
Since Templars has only few viable PvP skills, lets check how OP damage shields(i.e. sorcs ;) ) vs Templar skills:
1. Reflective Light/Vampire Bane - ~60% of this ability damage is going for dot, however dots not procs vs damage shields, so we loosing 60% of ability damage. +10% crit rate buff on hit - as we know crit rate is 0% vs damage shields, so again buff is not working vs shields. At least it still can snare through shield. 2. Puncturing Sweep - [heal you for 40% of damage inflicted]; however if your ability is hitting enemy with damage shield on, sweep is healing you for 0% of inflicted damage. Biting Jabs - [+10% crit rate buff], as we already know crit rate is 0% vs shields; so no matter which morph you pick up, it won't work.
3. Purifying Light - [should absorb and release 36% of damage]. However if you casted it and attacked enemy with shield - no matter how many damage you will deal to him, Purifying Light will release 5(!) damage. <---not work at all.
4. Radiant Glory - [heal you for 20% of damage inflicted] same as Sweep, if you use it against target with shield - it heal you for 0% of inflicted damage.
0. Quick siphon, - [heal you upon dealing damage] not Templar skill but has most potential in combo with Jabs, however ability is not working on damage shields, so you won't be healed at all.
As you can see not impressive results how limited templar skills loosing all its effectiveness vs damage shields.

    Magicka DoTs are already working on damage shields. Stamina DoTs too, with the exception of bleeds. The OP is wrong about that.

    • Are bleeds working on shields in next update?
    • And is "Constitution" (resources when hit) in Heavy Armor working with shields on now ?
    • Also are "On hit" sets (Leeching Plate for example) working with caster' shields on ?

    Answer much appreciated.

    Edited my post with video proof that dot not working on damage shield. Bad quality and laggy , but it is my perfomance in IC :( still CLS and rest are showing needed info. Hope there is no need to proove that Crit rate not work either.

    Sets and abilities, that proc in hit(Desert Rose, Leeching, Malubeth, etc.) are not working against damage shields.

    That is correct. The designers coded the update so only sorcerer shields allow DoT damage ...

    Oh my fault thought that first sun fire looked like the first hit of soul assault
    But yea dots should work vs shields I play a Dk too who relies on dots for dps and has no chance to kill sorcs. On the other hand I can just ignore them because they cant kill me anyways xD

    They should make DoTs bypass all shields, at least that would make them somewhat useful. As it currently stands, DoTs are too weak to have much effect on a fight.

    Not if you stack dots but its pretty useless vs templars and nbs who just use cloak/purifying ritual and all others can use purge to get rid of them

    annulment and its morphs (harness/dampen) really screw magicka vs magicka fights, which is why we need the shield breaker set in light/heavy armor, not medium

    Meaning you need to counter it, instead of ignoring it... ie. the same as healing yourself when you take damage or dodging or blocking... react vs ignore.

    Are you by any chance a heavy armor permablocker? Because if you are, then you wouldn't notice it with block mitigating sth like 70% of projectile damage.
